OpenAI on Thursday announced a new enterprise platform called Frontier, its latest launch as part of its ongoing effort to win more business customers.
Frontier acts as an intelligence layer that stitches together disparate systems and data within an organization. OpenAI said the platform will make it easier for companies to manage, deploy and build artificial intelligence agents, which are tools that can independently complete tasks on behalf of a user.
"Frontier is really a recognition that we're not going to build everything ourselves," Fidji Simo, OpenAI's CEO of Applications, told reporters during a briefing. "We are going to be working with the ecosystem to build alongside them, and we embrace the fact that enterprises are going to need a lot of different partners."
OpenAI has been making an aggressive push into the enterprise in recent years, and announced in November that more than 1 million business customers around the world are using the company's technology.
Last month, OpenAI CFO Sarah Friar told CNBC that enterprise customers account for roughly 40% of OpenAI's business, though she expects that figure to reach closer to 50% by the end of the year.
OpenAI's new Frontier platform is "complementary" to its existing business offerings, including ChatGPT Enterprise, the company said.
"What's really missing still, for most companies, is just a simple way to unleash the power of agents as teammates that can operate inside the business without the need to rework everything underneath," Denise Dresser, OpenAI's chief revenue officer, said during the briefing. "That's exactly why we've built Frontier."
